‘Moonbow’ caught on camera in England

By Around the Web

(BBC) — A rare lunar rainbow – or moonbow – has been photographed in the skies over northern England.

Ben Gwynne captured the sight on the moors above Skipton, North Yorkshire at about 19:40 GMT.

Lunar rainbows are formed when moonlight, rather than direct sunlight, is refracted by moisture in the atmosphere.
